Nope, there's is very little difference between the two. If you put a ported one on then yiu could tell a big difference.

 

Ya I right now don't have the extra cash to spend on a ported one. Only thing I thought may be easier not having the back piece that goes across engine.

 

Also

 

Also is there any way to remove or guy the throttle plate in the 2003 intake?

 

They are not directly interchangable if you are keeping the EGR intact. Have you looked to see if you have a throttle plate? You may have the riser and just no plate like my 2003. One advantage to the newer intake is you can remove it without removing the turbo, the downside is easier to warp and no "balance tube" for air flow.

 

Yeah I'm just putting stock one back on it. The throttle plate is getting pulled off cause putting a aftermarket banks elbow on it.

 

Mine is an 03 and I have the Banks technicooler and still had to use the throttle plate. Maybe your Banks kit is for an 05 or later.

 

Yeah my banks kit is for a 05 and later
